Star Wars Pachinko Machine in Arcade Room Standing Case Battle Counter Tokens | eBay

so ware ican buy kit or if some one know about this board? or ware ican buy this machine?!

thank you

No such thing as kits. That's like trying to buy a kit to build your own big screen TV- there's just no such thing.
Try Craigslist, eBay, Yahoo Japan Auction, or one of the very few (and always seem to be marginal type businesses) pachinko importers.
Good Luck.

I think I remember Five Brothers was offering a coin op system for modern pachinkos to be used in bars. They just recently went out of business and I am not sure if any of these were ever completed. If so, I think someone bought out their inventory and iis openiing a business in Ohio. Might be a place to check.

There are Japanese dealers that offer the boards for this type of conversion, but you need to make a lot of modifications to the pachinko machine to wire them in and I expect that all the instructions will be in Japanese.

There is a thread about removing a pachinko machine from one of these cabinets, which will give you some idea of the modifications involved.

Alternatively, if you want a pachinko that accepts coins/tokens (but doesn't have any sort of cash/prize payout system) then my card reader emulator dongles can be set up to payout balls to the front tray when a coin is inserted.

What do you want the machine to do. Is it for entertainment or the chance to win a prize. All of these type of machines are cyclic, requiring the internal ball paths to be modified. Also I have seen some where the front tray is sealed meaning the customer has no access to the balls themselves. Plus then the shooter has to be disabled when out of credits.

Let us know how you want the machine to pay and play. We all might be able to come up with a solution.

I was at Five Brothers a few weeks ago and saw two of them there with my own eyes. I know the guys taking over were trying to ship as little as possible to reduce costs so they may still be there, and they may work a sweet deal so they don't have to bother with them. I was sorely tempted but didn't have the money or space to take them at the time.

Good Luck!

I want the machine acting by coins
I put the currency gets credit and note me on the screen credits I have ...
All access to balls should be blocked.
And once I get pills then it is added to the credits screen. Or I get money through the hopper.
Or I press a button and then the credits are depleted from the screen and become money through the hopper
And as soon as I run out of credits I can not play the machine or that the shooter will stop working.

Wow that is a major mix between a slot machine and a pachinko. Dispite that ad saying it was built for the US market, it clearly has all the writing and instuctions in Japanese. I 'll will try to ready through the instuctions to see how this one work, But looking at the pictures it takes an unspecified type of coin to play ( there is no currency demonination listed by the coin slot Then at the bottom there is a standard coin/token payout hopper (remember if its in Japan, it will not payout currency, in fact the credit slot isn't connected to the payout hopper.

These guys sell that parts, But no idea how to put it together.
They also sell the complete cabinets

If 5 brothers had them. it might be worth seeing if you can get purchase the equipment and leave the cabinet behind

but iwant to buy only kit or only board with instructions...

[Card Shark]

I think I am going to see if Five Brothers still has those 2 machines sitting around and are willing to make a deal.

[Drunkenclam]

I have loads of questions regarding these. That's why my answers are vague. What does 1 credit buy you. 25 balls or 1 minute of play time. Is credit added on balls won. Or start pocket hits? If on a timer. what happens during extended reaches. (I normslly stop firing to watch and listen to the reach video) What happens when machine hits multiply jackpot. A pachi in a parlour will payout over 20,000 balls easy and can go on for over an hour. Thats a lot of time and credit. I think the best versions to convert are the light or sweet ones. With more regular but smaller jackpots.

I don't want to be the devils advocate, but considering the time, cost, and logistics of making this happen, wouldn't be easier to just buy the pre-made system, and ship it to Israel? Then if necessary, swap out the pachinko for whatever? Yes, it is heavy, but it doesn't have to go by air. Alternatively, make a deal with the seller. Buy the cabinet without the StarWars pachinko, this will reduce the price and weight. The seller can easily sell the Star Wars for about $400.

Sometimes the path to a solution is a subtractive process, not an additive one.

Good idea, but as Candyflip would testify. Comversion back to a standard machine is sometimes not as simple as it sounds

I'm going to have a flick through the manual and see if I can work out how these things work, i have 2 cyclic machines in my collection and wondering how I can make them more challenging before I revert them back to standard.
